Mr. Nicholson has decided to accept the intuition to tvliich he was elected by the Legislature, 011 the State Hoard of Control. The Columbia Register announcing Mr. Nicholsons decision and commenting on it has the following to tay: It is not often nowadays that the ollice seeks the man, and especially is this assertion true ot oliices 111 South Carolina, where the ollice generally goes to the man ?? !?" ">lro it ttwujf lkocuiotiiiit itr ilitil \riir n 1 iu (TlVftO IV IHWV |?Vioiownvaj mt\? ? jjjorously. Ail election at the l;u>t session , of the General Assembly furnishes an exception to this rule in .South Carolina. When tlie 1 legislature elected a Board of control .under the new Disjiensary law, there were a number of candidates for positions on that board, but a majority of its members were elected without any effort 011 their i?ut, and one, Mr. \\\ A. .Nicholson, of Union, was elected without liw having been asked if he would consent to serve. .Several days ago it was'rumored around Columbia that Mr. Nicholson, 011 account of the pressure of his banking business and for oilier reasons was averse to accepting h:s election and serving 011 the board. Had he refused to serve, matters would have been much complicated and it was even feared that the law itself would have beeu invalidated, as it provides that the entire Uiard shall meet and organize and take charge of the Dispensary business. 1 >1 course if one of the members refused to serve, it would be a physical imiiossihility for the entire board to meet and comply with the provisions of the new Disonsary Act. A or could Governor Evans have tilled the vacancy by upointment, for the Act does not give lue Governor the i?ower to till vacancies arising 011 the board from any cause whatever. Under the Constitution lie has general powers of appointment in certain eases, but a vacancy 011 the Board of Control could not by any imsibility be regarded as one of these cases. In tins emergency Governor Evans promptly coned communication with Mr. .Nicholsonmid011 Monthly went to Union to confer with him. Mr. Nicholson is an exceedingly patriotic man, who alwav considers the good of the Mtate in preference to his own private comfort, and when the Governor explained to linn what would lie the effect and fiossible danger of his declination to serve, lie promptly agreed that, no matter how indisfKKsed to serve, nor now lunch lie would be inconveiiced by serving, lie would accept the place for tiie present. Tliis patriotic decision by Mr. Nicholson removes all danger to the new Dispensary law and it will go intoetfeet without any hitch. There was a rumor yesterday to the effect that Mr. T. M. Alien of York County, .who was elected much in the suiiie manner as was Mr. Micholson, was also inclined to decline to accept his tilectkni. This rumor could not lie confirmed yesterday and little credence was placed-iu it at the State House. Almost undoubtedly, it lie has any such inclination. wjieu the effect of it is presented to him its it was presented to Mr. Micholson. he will imitate his example and serve the til IlilllSi'lf V> V V.I I **V ilivwn t VIKVAIVV %" ...

If tbore is ono object of disliko to a woman, it is a stingy man. Now, by this wo do not moan that tbo fair Bex are anxious for a man to spond more tban ho can afford, but tboy rln fn?l flinf if ia /Inn fn fVinm thoy aro invited ont to liavo the privilego of scloting what thoy want from a menu without being prompted by their host to select what he prcfors. The man doesn't have to say, "You must take this, or you mustn't take that." A woman is quiok to recognize the saving keynote when he says: "What will you havo? I think I will havo a sandwich," and though she may loathe sandwiches sho fools it hor duty to say, "Well, then, I will have nno too. " Some mean men know that they can easily bulldozo a woman this way, and- it would sorvo thorn just right if tlaeir guest were to say, "Well, for my part, I profer terrapin, some frosh mushrooms, a canapo Loronzo and somo Nesselrodo pudding." Oh, no, wo novor do say that. We aro guided by (ho inflection in the man's voico and take whatever ho wants us to, whether wo liko it or not. Now, wo don't object ono bit to a man boing oconomical. It is a praiseworthy trait, hut for goodness aako don't have him practice it. when he takos ft woman out to lunclioon, dinner or suppor.- If ho really can't afford anything sho might ask for, ho has no right to invito hor. Lot him do tlio elegant less frequently and do it right when ho is about it. The woman of tho world will perhaps order a more extravagant moal than ho would desire, but sho won't break him if ho entertains her but once in decent style, instead of three or four times in poverty stricken fashion that makes his guest want to pass her purse across the table to him to help himoutof his difficulty. There is no pleasure in eating under suoh circumstances, and a woman would fool much moro pleased with a man if no such suggestion were made and sho thus escaped an exhibition of his meanness. Lot it bo j said right hero that tho really poor ' man is not tho ono to get into suoh a predicament. Ho knows ho can't, and ho stays out of trouble by not inviting you to a swell restaurant < and then looking pained if you order somothing beyond what ho had expected. It is tho man who wants to mal.o a show of being a "thoroughbred" who too often proves conclusively by some cpisodo of this sort that he is not. ' "My boy will know bow to ord-r when ho grows up," said a young mother tho other day, "il' I lmvo to writo out tho uaenu for Inn: every tin:o ho tako3 a young lady out. Thoro won't ho any'what will you have' about it, hut ho will select n dainty iittlo xnoal that will roliovo her from tho embarrassment of soleotion, but won't bo made up of tho choapost things in sight, and will, thoreforo, givo her a chanco, if sho doos not caro for his choice, to mako a clinngo in one or moro dishes without feeling that sho is an up to dato Jack Shoppard who has lured an unhappy victim into a restaurant just to rob him."?Philadelphia Inquirer. A Frcncli Chef Wanted. There was an interesting cpisodo one day in a well known Washington cafo. Tho proprietor lias a I French chef in his employ, and tho ; result is that tho menu cards can bo 1 guaranteed to puzzlo any Amorioan. ( Two gentlemen sat at a table. One , was from tho west, and his French i education had been neglected. Tho I I ntlior Imrl lint roponflw (V nn t/i I Washington from Parts. Aflor road- J ing tlio menu tho westerner said to . tho waiter: "I can't rend Fronch. j Bring mo a good dinner." Meantimo tlio Frenchman was trying to figure out tho words. "Par- J don, monseor," ho said, "octocs not zo Franca is. Eot. ces not r.o Eonglisli. I know not what cct co?. 7t?:-o cos r.o soup. Zut ccft French for zo rat. I want not zo rat soup. Eot ccs horroeblo." | Too proprietor heard it, and upon , investigation found that his guest- i was correct. There is a now French chef, who understands tho French language.?Washington Btar.
